I heard that SM were rehearsing in the Point Depot at that time so I made the trek to Dublin when i was a kid (13 or 14 I think?) to see if I could catch a glimpse of my heroes!! I ended up meeting all the band, got a poster signed and got a pair of Mel's sticks!! One of the greatest days in my life at the time! Still like to look at the photos of that day...always bring a huge smile to my face!!

@rira0007 - Hard to believe how different the ol' Point is now. I think the O2 is what the Point always should have been.
